**An addiction to crafts and hobbies is a serious thing.  If your know someone who you think has a problem, get them a bigger hobby room, and enjoy the fruits of their labors.***

I am JKB and I’m a hobbyholic.  I have once again self taught myself another trick.  My first project is a knitted scarf.  Completely out of a knit stitch, next project, learning to purl stitch.

To start to learn to knit, I bought a kit at the store that came with an instruction book and starter knitting needles.  I also found a site on line that had some good instruction video for when the book did not describe enough to understand.

A scarf pattern came in the back of the instruction book for a first project, I didn’t follow all the instructions, was trying to K.I.S.S. and did this scarf in all knit stitch.  The pattern in the book said that project should take 3 hours, don’t really know what whiz as a beginner could do that, this scarf took me 3 weeks.

Either way, it’s a new skill and the family better be worried because they’ve just seen what they will probably get for Christmas ;-D.  It has also replaced food while I watch t.v. at night.
